Hello All,
i am looking for a good e-book reader since i have many books stored in PDF and doc format. i live in UAE.. didn't find any store that sells these devices yet, so i decided to buy one online.. i just don't know which model is best.. i want simple one that can open PDF and doc files without complication... i was interested in ebookwis but customer service informed me it cannot be shipped to UAE plus,it cannot open PDF files.

The ability to read PDFs was one of my main criteria when I got my PRS-900. It's slightly bigger than the 6" readers, which allows landscape reading of PDFs, and autocropping of margins to increase the readable area. Single column PDFs work great this way, multicolumn ones are best converted to single column beforehand.

i contacted sony to get more info but since they don't market it in middle east, they couldn't help... how much the cost of sony reader? and would some functions not work incase i use it in outside country like UAE?

PocketBook ... hmmm... never heard of it. I need to read more about it..

so far,the only devices i managed to know available in my country are not known to me:
1. Ectaco Jed book
2. IRver
3. Abron

I'm not sure if Sony has agreements with the cell phone carriers in the UAE to allow wireless functions to work. AS for the cost, it is approx $400 USD. You can get a discount by ordering thru Bing. I got mine from TigerDirect - free shipping + 10% Bing rebate.
